U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll, Republic of the Marshall Islands

Roi Rats express concerns at town hall

By KW HillisFeature Writer

It�s not the first time that Sgt. ScottRoss has been part of an invasionfrom Fort Wainwright, Alaska, whichpermanently changed the face ofKwajalien and Roi-Namur. Previouslyhere in 1997 and 1998, he arrived atKwaj a week ago as part of an ad-vance team to prepare for C Com-pany, 864th Engineer, which will bebusy with a trio of major projects inthe coming months.

�It�s great to see something youbuilt,� said Ross, who was on islandin 1997 when Building 1010 andadditions to the FPQ-19 facility werebuilt, and in 1998 when his platoonbuilt the Roi Small Boat Marina.

Ross has also worked on temporaryprojects on Kwaj. He was on the is-land when Typhoon Paka hit.

Roi-Namur resident and golfer

By Peter RejcekAssociate Editor

A small but inquisitive audience greeted Col. Curtis L.Wrenn on Roi-Namur Wednesday night for that island�sfirst town hall meeting with the new USAKA/KMR com-mander.

Wrenn acknowledged Roi�s independent spirit in hisopening remarks, recognizing privacyas a key component to residents�quality of life there.

�Quality of life is different as youlook at the different entities that en-compass the United States Army Kwa-jalein Atoll-Kwajalein Missile Range,�Wrenn said. Wrenn added, as he didat last week�s Kwajalein Town Hallmeeting, that mission requirementscan and will take priority over qual-ity of life in the arena of funding.

Wrenn noted that the installation�sbudget has been in decline for muchof the last decade, when it peaked at about $199 millionin 1992. Last year�s budget was in the neighborhood of$147 million, he said.

�We have been in a reduction since 1992,� Wrenn said.One apparent casualty of budget constraints is a

proposal to construct a new chapel on Roi-Namur, lastyear�s top issue at Kwajalein�s Family Action Plan meet-ing. Wrenn said that will not happen, explaining that analternative site will be found for parishioners. The cur-rent chapel building, near the Roi airport terminal, is insevere disrepair.

Money was the thread that tied together many of theissues raised by residents, some ofwhom expressed frustration overperceived inequities in spendinghabits for Kwaj and Roi. For instance,several residents objected to the costof the Kwajalein downtown beautifi-cation project, claiming the projectran over budget. USAKA/KMR offi-cials said the project did exceed itsoriginal budget. The final figure, how-ever, is not available at this time, butwill be published in an upcomingHourglass. The youth skate park un-der construction at the Dally tennis

courts and the renovation at the Yokwe Yuk Club werealso points of contention.

�It all happens on Kwaj,� said a resident. �It�s time toshare the wealth.�

The Kwajalein Hourglass

The Hourglass is named for the insigniaof the U.S. Army 7th Infantry Division, whichliberated the island from the forces of Impe-rial Japan on Feb 4, 1944.

The Kwajalein Hourglass is an authorizedpublication for military personnel, federal em-ployees, contractor workers and their familiesassigned to USAKA/KMR. Contents of theHourglass are not necessarily official viewsof, or endorsed by, the U.S. Government, De-partment of Defense, Department of the Armyor USAKA/KMR.

We interrupt this paper, to give you the EmmysIn the states, it�s Emmy time. Time

for television to honor, well, itself,and even out here, we got a suprisinglylarge number of the nominatedshows.

The Hollywood buzz currently sur-rounds the shocking 18 nominationsfor The West Wing and The Sopranos.I�ve heard good things about both.

Kwajalein started getting the firstseason of The West Wing a coupleweeks ago, and I�ve caught snippets,but frankly, I�ve got other things to dothan get caught up in another soapopera. My life is enough in itself.

For those of you who have missedit, The West Wing stars Martin Sheenas the president of the United Statesand Rob Lowe as one of his men. Thecast includes other big names in-cluding a guy from L.A. Law, I think,and Moira Kelly, the gal who taughtthe hockey player to figure skate in �what was that movie called?

Anyway, they have presidentialadventures, as they determine thefate of the free world.

The show is competing againstHBO�s The Sopranos, which is aboutthe mafia and is a cable show, so theycan use foul language and show lotsof stuff you wouldn�t see on primetime network television. But then

critics love that stuff. Joining themin the hunt for best drama is ER,Law&Order and The Practice, natu-rally. I am an ER fan, but honestly,the show went on life support lastseason. I hope they lose.

Now let�s talk actors and actressesin a drama.

Ladies first. I recognize the judgefrom Judging Amy and JuliannaMargulies (Nurse Hathaway) of ER,and we just started seeing Sela Wardin Once and Again. I�ve missed it, so Ican�t say anything about it. The otherfolks, who I don�t recognize, are fromThe Sopranos.

For the men. Who could say no tothe president, played by Martin Sheen,or some guy named James Gandolfiniof The Sopranos? Of course, DennisFranz of NYPD Blue is on the list, alongwith Sam Waterston and Jerry Orbachof Law&Order. Heck, any guy namedGandolfini has my vote and I haven�teven seen the show.

For best comedy, we got four of thefive nominees out here � EverybodyLoves Raymond, Frasier, Friends andWill & Grace. One sitcom is as good asanother, but I�m pretty tired of Friendsand I just can�t get into Will & Grace.

I guess the folks on Roi get the fifthnominee, Sex and the City, because Isaw it last time I was up there. Again,it�s a cable show the critics love.

All the usual suspects got nomina-tions for acting including Frasier,Dharma, Raymond and both Will andGrace.

But it�s hard to get excited aboutthe Emmys when you�re not in thestates surrounded by the hoopla. So,

with that in mind, we offer, �TheHourglass Emmys,� for the 2000 sea-son.

Best Sitcom: M*A*S*H on Flash-back TV. How can you beat Hawkeye,Trapper John and B.J.? Arguably,the greatest show ever because it�sas funny today as it was when it wasproduced. It�s the perfect Army showand should be on twice daily.

Worst Sitcom: They�re all bad, ex-cept M*A*S*H, but a tie goes toSabrina, the Teenage Witch and BoyMeets World. Here�s wishing a spellwould eliminate both.

Show that would be better if itwas at a better time: Through nofault of their own, CPN shows majorleague baseball starting at 5 a.m.,noon and 9 p.m. It�s enough to makea guy learn how to program his VCR,but you inevitably run into someschmuck who has to mention thescore before you see the tape.

On a side note: We�re very pleasedMonday Night Football starts at 7p.m. this season instead of 8 p.m.Some of us need our beauty rest, butnot at the expense of good football orDennis Miller calling the game.

Show that should have died yearsago: Beverly Hills 90210. Come on,these folks are middle-aged now. Icaught the 10th season opener lastweek (yeah, count �em, 10), and for agroup that�s been through so much,they don�t handle crises very wellthese days. We could spend daystalking about what�s wrong with thisshow. Hard to believe the creator ofCharlie�s Angels and Fantasy Islandcame up with this mess.

Show that most improves yourvocabulary: Dawson�s Creek. Do youknow any teens who talk like this? Ofcourse, they can�t put real teen dialogon television, unless it�s cable. In anycase, at my house it�s, �Honey, get thethesaurus. Dawson is coming on.�

Best show when you don�t take itseriously: Buffy, The Vampire Slayer.You can�t even take the title seri-ously, and the show is even more fun.

Well, that�s all we have time fortoday, ladies and gentlemen. Theshow is on at 7:30 p.m. next Thurs-day on Channel 9. Please don�t tellme who won.

built for BQ residents using APICmoney will be located at the quad-rangle formed by the Yokwe YukClub and Surf and Tropics BQs.

Over the last two years the KwajaleinChild Development Center staff havemade many changes, including placing

more emphasis on Marshallese language, art,and literature in the classroom environmentand incorporating more exposure for the chil-dren to the surrounding environment in theiroverall learning experience.

As a result of all that hard work, Kwajalein�sCDC program was recently granted accredita-tion by the National Association for the Educa-tion of Young Children (NAEYC), the largest andmost widely recognized professionally sponsoredaccreditation system. The NAEYC evaluatesearly childhood programs nationwide.

�With the emphasis the military places onchild care, all Army child care centers arerequired to be certified by the NAEYC,� saidTrina Tiffany, Kwajalein�s Child Development Centersupervisor. �Approximately two years ago, the CDC staffbegan with an intensive self-study, collecting informa-tion from parents, teachers, administrators and class-room observation.�

The self-study pinpointed weaknesses, such as thelack of Marshallese cultural studies and the lack of useof the outside environment in the program.

Once the best methods of making the necessary im-provements were determined, corrective actions wereundertaken.

A formal request for certification was submitted to theNAEYC in 1999 by the CDC. An outside trainer, familiarwith the certification process, arrived on Kwaj lastOctober to assist local teachers. She provided a series ofvaluable workshops and personal evaluations for theCDC staff.

Two of the most important areas that come underconsideration during the certification process are in theareas of child/teacher interaction and in the curriculum.

�Emphasis in our program is on the children�s rela-tionship with the staff and helping each individual childgrow and learn,� Tiffany said. �We want to look at thechild as an individual, so as to develop the skills thatthey will need intellectually, socially, emotionally andphysically.�

Only 7 percent of the child care centers, preschools,kindergartens and before- and after-school programsare able to meet the rigorous standards set by thatorganization. This affects some 684,103 children as ofMay 2000. Approximately 15,000 programs are activelyseeking this accreditation, according to a NAEYC pressrelease.

�The heart of the NAEYC accreditation focuses on thechild�s experience,� said NAEYC spokeswoman BarbaraWiller. �The process carefully considers all aspects of aprogram including health and safety, staffing, staffqualifications and physical environment.�

In April, an NAEYC independent evaluator arrived onisland for the formal evaluation. The results were thenjudged by a team of national experts who decided togrant the accreditation.

�It was truly a learning process for everyone involved,�CDC teacher Judy McLaughlin said. �In my case, it wasputting a new perspective on learning areas that haveworked for me in the past. It really involved new ways ofthinking to incorporate a broader scope of skills andgoals so as to reach all of the children according to theirabilities and interests.�

For CDC teacher Caroline McQuade, �this certifica-tion means that even though the children may come toKwaj from all over the world, they can be guaranteed thevery highest quality of education and national stan-dards.�

Research by the NAEYC supports the value of accredi-tation for children. Children�s language and social skillsespecially benefit from the better quality of accreditedprograms.

�Not only do I think we have a good program, but it isreassuring for both the parents and staff to have some-one with experience in this area and with the children�sbest interests in mind to come in and evaluate ourprogram,� Tiffany observed. �They came in and checkedeverything, not just the paperwork. It was obvious thattheir primary concern was what occurred in the class-room.�

ment is on the runway, it blew a hugeair bubble up in the middle. They hadus out there filling sandbags to try tohold it down,� Ross said. �Fifty or 60of us. On the radio, they were warn-ing everyone to stay inside and wewere out there filling sandbags.�

Ross, along with Pvt. BradYamamoto, and Spc. Larry Tyler, werein Building 1759 last Saturday, pre-paring to inventory constructionmaterials for the upcoming projects.

Sgt. 1st Class Kimball Merri-weather, C Company Deployment firstsergeant, after checking on Ross�group, left for the lumberyard wherethe remainder of the advance team,Sgt. Jeffrey Moran, Spc. TyronBranch and Pvt. Jason Apt, were

inventorying lumber. There are three large projects fac-

ing the two platoons of C Company ofthe 864th Engineers. One platoonwill be building two additions to Build-ing 1010 � the KMR Telemetry Cen-ter and the KMR Space SurveillanceCenter. The other platoon will bebuilding a new Consolidated Preven-tive Maintenance facility on Lagoonand 9th Street containing PreventiveMaintenance, Small Engine Repair,Self-Help store, Change of OccupancyMaintenance Building and groundsshop and Custodial Maintenance,said Doug Vander Veen, RSE projectmanager.

The recon team from Alaska landedfour weeks ago �to coordinate billet-ing, dining facilities [and the] loca-tion of the projects,� Merriweathersaid. The advance team, which ar-rived just over a week ago, �is settingup for the main body � inventoryingall the building materials� and reor-ganizing.

The soldiers, who will arrive in twogroups of 24 each, one group tomor-row and one next Saturday, will haveto �start work as soon as they hit theground,� Merriweather said.

Merriweather explained that thetroops would be working six days aweek, between 10 to 12 hours a day,to get the job done by the due date.

�All the projects will be done byDec. 15. They will all be on the planethat day,� said Jim Landgraff,USAKA/KMR troop support construc-tion manager.

Other than preparatory work, CCompany will get minimal help from

the shops on island.�Our group has done all the demo-

lition so far,� Vander Veen said.�We�ve transplanted 26 trees andcleared the site at the maintenancefacility on Lagoon and 9th street. Atthe Space Surveillance and Telem-etry site, three large air conditioningunits have been moved and we re-moved the asphalt to prepare for thenew facility behind Building 1010.

�At least one person from each FOMshop will assist the troops throughoutthe project,� Vander Veen said. �Butthis is a training mission for the [com-pany], so they will be doing the major-ity of the work. We don�t want to takeaway any benefit from their training.�

Men and women are assigned to CCompany as carpenters, plumbersand electricians, Merriweather said.They get to hone their skills whendeployed to different locationsthroughout the world.

�Construction in the field is calledTheater of Operations,� Merriweathersaid. �The structures [on Kwaj] arepermanent structures. This is like afinished project� including electricaland plumbing. Some deployment lo-cations can only offer building of tem-porary structures, he added.

Last year, Ross said that he was inKosrae, building high school bath-rooms, remodeling a police stationand building a water catchment.

�The best part about our job iswhen the building is finished, youcan stand there and look at yourbuilding and say, �Okay, I helpedbuild that.� Knowing it�s going to bethere for years to come,� Ross said.

Vision screening, TB tests for students underway until OctoberKris BrownKwajalein Hospital

Vision screening at the elementaryand junior-senior high schools forstudents in all grades is being giventhroughout the month of Septemberand into the first week of October.

Students who wear glasses shouldbring them to school on the day oftesting. Students will be tested withand without glasses. A student whowears contact lenses does not needto remove them.

At the time of the vision screening,students in even grades will alsoundergo a tuberculosis skin test. Apermission slip will be sent homefrom the students� school. It must besigned by the parent or guardian orthe test will not be given.

TB skin testing is a requirement ofthe Kwajalein School System. If thetest is not administered at the school,the parent or guardian will need tobring the student to the hospital forthe test. A TB skin test within the

last six months exempts a student. Ifthe child has had a previous positivetest, he or she will not be tested.

Test documentation will be placedon the students� health card, whichis part of their cumulative folder. TheTB skin test will also be documentedin the students� medical records atthe hospital.

Parents will receive written notifi-cation of the students� vision and TBskin test results.

Said resident Bridget Rankin, �Let�ssave money and spend it elsewhere� You have to be responsible for yourbudget.�

USAKA/KMR officials counteredthat per capita recreation fund spend-ing on Roi is nearly double comparedto Kwaj. In fiscal year 1999, the rec-reation fund spent $909 per residentat Roi-Namur, while per residentspending on Kwajalein was $507.There are about 2,200 people on Kwajand 200 on Roi, according to USAKA/KMR Public Affairs.

Lloyd Jordan, Residential SupportDivision manager, said the recre-ation fund is finally recovering afteralmost becoming insolvent when itwas used to cover base operationprojects in the past. Jordan said therec fund enjoys about $2 million inprofits, which are used to fund every-thing from the small boat marinas tothe golf courses of both islands �ventures which are normally subsi-dized by other rec fund sources. Otherprojects, such as road pavement, arefunded with base funds.

�Money is not a panacea for every-thing,� Wrenn noted. �We haveunfinanced requirements across theboard.�

Bert Scott, director of USAKA/KMRInstallation Management, said resi-dents should concentrate on whattheir needs are on Roi and expressthem to the command. Officials re-quested Roi residents put together atop ten list of project needs and sub-mit them to USAKA/KMR.A day at the beach

Wrenn also asked residents to de-cide for themselves on how best toregulate the island�s so-called Adopt-an-Area policy, in which residentsare allowed to adopt a spot on thepublic beach. Some spots simply sporthammocks and a deck while othersapproach the opulence of a Waikikibeach condo resort.

�I�m impressed with what I saw,�Wrenn told the crowd. �My concern isthat the baggers [Kwajalein commut-ers] feel like outsiders when they goto the beach.�

Wrenn said he wanted the commu-nity to decide on a standard code of

how the area should look, as long asit adheres to standard building codesand fosters an appearance that thepublic is welcome.

�You know what you want yourcommunity to look like,� Wrenn said.

Karin Robas, Roi-Namur Commu-nity Activities superintendent, saida meeting is scheduled for Saturdaywith the Adopt-an-Area custodiansto discuss the issue, which first cameup at the end of last year. There arecurrently 18 adopted spots, accord-ing to Robas.

�Since this first came up, it seemsmore Kwaj residents have come downand made themselves at home,� Robassaid.

Wrenn gave Roi residents until Dec.1 to resolve the matter.

Otherwise: �I will play big daddyand we�ll tear them all down andstart from ground zero.�Now playing

Jordan reported that a contract willsoon be signed to repair all eight movieprojectors on Roi and Kwaj for a totalof about $10,000. Currently, theYokwe Yuk Theater and TradewindsTheater are operating with only oneprojector each. Jordan said otherupgrades are also in consideration.

�We�re also looking at the viabilityof replacing the projectors with newones,� he said.Fore! Or six?

Golfers dissatisfied with the main-tenance of the golf course on Roi saidthey would prefer to take mattersinto their own hands rather thanclose down part of the course.

�If you gave us a riding lawnmower,there�s not a guy out there who wouldnot cut the grass,� said resident LarryRoberts, who wrote a letter to thecommander complaining of thecourse�s poor condition.

Wrenn said a mower would be pro-vided.The nuts and bolts

Repairs to the air conditioning inbuildings A and B are scheduled tobegin before the end of the year.Restroom construction at Café Roi isexpected to begin no later than No-vember, while renovations at therestrooms at the Outrigger Club areslated to begin next month.

It�s not too early to register forTerm II courses for University ofMaryland University College�s Dis-tance Education program eventhough the term doesn�t begin untilOct. 23, according to Eve Cran,UMUC field representative at Kwaj.This is a big change from last year,she said. Cran recommends thatprospective students register assoon as possible to reserve a place intheir desired courses.

Students may register for Asian,European or stateside DE courses allat the same rate, according to Cran.The cost for a three-semester-hourcourse is $384, slightly higher thanlast year but a lower fee than Mary-land residents pay.

The new UMUC catalog for aca-demic year 2000-2001 is available atthe UM office in school administra-tion building 368 during office hoursand in the hall outside Cran�s office.Or, send Cran an e-mail atumkwaj@kls.usaka.smdc.army.miland she will mail one to you.

Another important change hasbeen made involving University ofMaryland�s official evaluation, Cransaid.

The evaluation establishes howmany credits students have earnedtoward their degrees from all sources,including courses at the university,transfer credits and testing. The offi-cial evaluation will now be based onUMUC�s curriculum requirements ineffect when the student began con-tinuous enrollment with the univer-sity or with any other public institu-tion of higher learning in the state ofMaryland, whichever is earlier.

To be continuously enrolled, stu-dents must have had no more thantwo sequential years of non-enroll-ment during their total enrollmentperiod at a Maryland public institu-tion of higher education. If a studenthas not been continuously enrolled,then the requirements for officialevaluation are those that were ineffect at the time of the student�smost recent enrollment.

By Jim BennettEditor

The 5 ½-week-long �short� softballseason began Thursday with the re-instatement of an old rule that endsthe possibility for ties. Instead, afterthe seventh inning or after time iscalled, teams will begin playing ex-tra innings. Each inning will beginwith the last batter from the team�sprevious at-bat on second base. Playwill continue until the tie is broken.

Another new rule outlines the pro-cedures for rain-outs. In short, if agame is called for rain before thethird inning, it will be rescheduled. Ifthe game is called in the third orfourth inning it will be stopped andrejoined exactly in the same spot itwas left � same players, runners,outs and count, for example. Finally,if the game has exceeded four in-nings or the time limit, the game isover.

The new rules will affect the 31teams battling it out for supremacyon the diamond.

The greatest change in line-upscomes in the Men�s A-B Division.After a hotly contested World Serieslast year, the Criminals went to ADivision, joining S.O.B. Meanwhile,

13 teams registered for B Divisionplay.

The A and B division teams werecombined, then separated into twoleagues, A-B East and A-B West, saidIan West, Adult Athletics supervisor.After season play within their re-spective leagues, the two A Divisionteams will face off in a world series.

The top four B Division teams fromeach league will enter into an eight-team single-elimination tournamentfor the championship.

In the Men�s C Division, nine teamswill play in a single round robin.Veteran teams Barnacles, Tolemourand Spartans I will be joined by EightIsn�t Enough, Lejimmas andEjbwewot. Spartans II, Spartans IIIand Mosey round out the league.After league play, the top four teamswill play a 1v.4, 2v.3 playoff, with thewinners advancing to the champion-ship game.

In women�s action, seven teamswill vie for the title including leaguestalwarts Homeplate, 30-Something,Spartans I, Spartans II and JabEliklik. Denju and Scrubs have joinedthe fray this season for the first time.

After a round robin of six games,the women will be broken into twodivisions based on records.

The divisions will play a secondround robin among their own group.Depending on where the �naturalbreak� occurs, one division will playa 1v.4, 2v.3 playoff and champion-ship game and the top two teams ofthe other division will play a best-of-two-game world series.

‘Short’ softball season opens with extra innings

By Bob SholarKwajalein Running Club

Kwajalein Running Club held its 21st Annual Run-Walk/Swim-Float Biathlon on Monday.

This is traditionally a low-key event emphasizing par-ticipation. The course consists of a 2.6-mile run followedby 600-yard lagoon swim. There were 62 participantscovering an incredibly broad age range. On the youngerend was Bailey Prince, who at well less than 1-year-old,had to be toted by mom, Amy, and dad, Scott. At the olderend was ... we�ll let�s not go there.

Top three male finishers were Hank Sikes (32:48),Michael Larsen (33:26) and Kevin Cohen (33:59).

Top three female finishers were Stephanie Flavin(34:18), Sharon Greenbaum (35:18), and Cassie Rubly(41:19). Flavin is a sophomore at Kwajalein Junior-Senior High School.

Several younger members of Kwajalein Swim Teamused the event as a training exercise, sticking fairlyclose for most of the route, including the unusuallyrough lagoon swim.

KRC biathlon keeps pace withtradition for 21 years in a row
